So these Coconut Nail Art by Incoco Nail Polish Strips were perrrrrrrrrrfect. And I love them. Maybe they are making me lazy when it comes to nail design, but I still love them. 🙂

So far these nail polish strips are neck and neck with OPI nail polish strips for my preference. These Incoco strips are a tiny bit thicker and slightly sturdier for application than the OPI nail polish strips. That thickness probably makes application easier for a “beginner”. I think the OPI strips lay flatter and thinner on the nail. They are far superior than China Glaze’s nail strips. COMPLETELY. (China Glaze has some really cute art designs though.)

I did a white no-chip manicure under this nail design, and a no-chip top coat on top of the strips…for longer wear, of course. And shorter “dry” time.

I love when my nails get to start over. I’m always the most productive then.

I like when they grow out as well…. But one of my nails felt like it was about to break, and I wasn’t about to sit and babysit any nails…. Plus I kept accidentally scratching myself. So I cut them off.

Then finally repolished.

ibd Just Gel – “Lucky Red”

I created a decal for my ring finger design with a stamp design and added color. Primary colors. Applied over a base of a white no-chip polish.

I was inspired by this very sheer and lightly tinted “correcting” polish from Zoya.
It looks soooo pretty and finished on people’s nails. Non-intrusive and apparently wears extremely well and nourishes the nail.

As I’m writing this my whole face is throbbing in pain and all I can take right now is ibuprofen every six hours…. And it’s not helping.

I’m not sure why I, at all, thought it was a good idea to have a root canal procedure done just before a holiday… But I was just trying to get it done. Well, it backfired.

I’m stuck here in pain with only brief moments of mental clarity because tooth pain will wipe out consciousness, I swear. Tons of tears. And just as much anger.

And yes this is a nail blog.

At one of my dentists’ offices where I am being highway robbed, I’m certain…one of the dental assistants had the cutest nails ever. So I told her I was copying. 😁 I caught a glimpse of them while she was operating the 3D x-ray imaging machine that after I pay for, probably, will prevent me from buying groceries or gas for my car for the next 6 months. (More time to paint my nails, I suppose.)

Initially I was planning to do the color “peach” in place of “pink”. But I ended up completely copying her style. Lol.

Thank you, Trish, for the inspiration. I am certain I’ll be seeing you again sooner that I even want.
